Useful phrases for travel, received compliments

I downloaded this in preparation for a trip to Prague, and I had zero experience with the Czech language, but I was familiar with other non-slavic languages such as Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, Italian, Mandarin.

The Czech language is, by far, the hardest language I've tried learning. Lots of sound combinations and entire sounds that don't exist in the languages I have experience with. Learning via the audio book helped me learn to pronounce the words correctly, although I ended up having to look up the Czech alphabet because I couldn't figure out what sounds the narrator was making at first (example: for mluvite, I though it was bluvite at first because I wasn't familiar with the "ml" combo).

I received many surprised responses and compliments at my attempts to speak Czech (English is VERY widely spoken in Prague but people greatly appreciate "good day", "thank you" and "please" in the local language). I also recommend Volume 2 if you'd like to round out travel-related phrases. It does come with a PDF, which helps a lot.

The editing wasn't great, however. There were several times when the narrator was speaking, stopped, said "again," and started over. I would have expected the editors to take out the mistakes.
